Our purpose is to challenge teens in regard to their faith in Christ. We want to help them become worshipers of God by developing a strong personal relationship with the Lord through studying His word, being with His people and reaching out to the world around them.

For Teens in 6th through 12th grades we have youth group every Wednesday night. The high school (grades 9-12) meets in the youth room and takes part in a time of worship, games and discussion of topics relevant to the world today. The middle school (grades 6-8) usually starts in the gym for games and a time of fellowship. Encourage your kids to come out and bring their friends. The youth staff loves teens, spending time with them and encouraging them in spiritual things.
